Coolant and oil temp question

What's everyone seeing for coolant/oil temps running down the interstate unloaded when it's warm (75-80°)outside?

I know only people with a tuner/gauges will know actual coolant temp but everyone should have the oil and tranny temp gauge.


Thanks guys!

My engine seems to stay around the 200 to 203 range. My transmission stays right around 192.

We towed a 5800 pound 25' enclosed deck-over trailer a little over 300 miles today. The outside temps were around 75F. The oil was 200-202F and the tranny was between 194-196F.

Wait for summer and start pulling some serious grades.
I often saw the Oil temps reach 242 degrees.

In general the water is just a little cooler than the oil until the themastat opens and the gap opens up wider as the oil keeps warming up.

I tow but it's not heavy. I run 203-206 on the interstate all the time but on a decent long grade it will climb into the 220s. If I tow heavy it's just like painted horse says, goes way up.
